About us

The initiative behind Northolt Islamic Centre started in 2016 as there was no Masjid (mosque) in the immediate area of Northolt. Situated in Greater London just off of the Target roundabout on the A40, Northolt Islamic Centre started as a small musallah (prayer space. News quickly began to spread around the local community about the newly established prayer area and we were not able to accommodate the increasing congregation.

Alhamdulillah, in 2019 through Allah's tawfiq and the generosity of the local community we purchased our current building- 159-161 Church Road, Northolt, UB5 5AG – which has allowed us to accommodate up to 80 musalleen.

Alhamdulillah, planning permission was granted in the same year and building work commenced to convert the ground floor into a masjid (Mosque). Our contractors promised to complete the project before Ramadan 2020/1441 however, the Covid-19 pandemic halted the works.

In 2022, we carried out further works in the form of an extension, alhamdulillah these were completed in time for Ramadan 2023/1444 which increased our total capacity to 250 musalleen. This extension allowed us to not only increase our capacity but to also provide a dedicated space for a much-needed funeral service which is underneath the staircase in the photo below.

In the same period, we established the first-ever madrassah in September 2022, currently, alhamdulillah we have 60 students in our madrassah which runs weekday evenings and classes on the weekends.

We are currently fundraising to expand the masjid by purchasing the carpet store next door and establishing Northolt’s first-ever Muslim funeral service.
